[5:10]  ¹ tn In context “you” refers to the city of Jerusalem. To make this clear for the modern reader, “Jerusalem” has been supplied in the translation in apposition to “you.”

[5:10]  ² tn Heb “all of your survivors.”

[5:10]  ³ tn Heb “to every wind.”

[8:10]  ⁴ tn Or “pattern.”

[8:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “detestable.” The word is often used to describe the figures of foreign gods.

[8:10]  ⁶ sn These engravings were prohibited in the Mosaic law (Deut 4:16-18).

[16:25]  ⁷ tn Heb “treated as if abominable,” i.e., repudiated.

[16:25]  ⁸ tn The only other occurrence of the Hebrew root is found in Prov 13:3 in reference to the talkative person who habitually “opens wide” his lips.

[16:31]  ¹⁰ tn The Hebrew term, which also occurs in vv. 34 and 41 of this chapter, always refers to the payment of a prostitute (Deut 23:19; Isa 23:17; Hos 9:1; Mic 1:7).

[16:33]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT.

[20:43]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “ways.”

[20:43]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “loathe yourselves in your faces.”

[29:7]  ¹⁹ tn The Hebrew consonantal text (Kethib) has “by your hand,” but the marginal reading (Qere) has simply “by the hand.” The LXX reads “with their hand.”

[29:7]  ²⁰ tn Or perhaps “dislocated.”

[29:7]  ²¹ tn Heb “you caused to stand for them all their hips.” An emendation which switches two letters but is supported by the LXX yields the reading “you caused all their hips to shake.” See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:103. In 2 Kgs 18:21 and Isa 36:6 trusting in the Pharaoh is compared to leaning on a staff. The oracle may reflect Hophra’s attempt to aid Jerusalem (Jer 37:5-8).

[32:4]  ²² tn Or “cause.”

[32:4]  ²³ tn Heb “live.”

[32:4]  ²⁴ tn Or “cause.”

[32:4]  ²⁵ tn Heb “the beasts of the field,” referring to wild as opposed to domesticated animals.

[32:26]  ²⁵ tn Heb “around him her graves,” but the expression is best emended to read “around her grave” (see vv. 23-24).

[38:6]  ²⁸ tn The words “they are joined by” are added in the translation for purposes of English style.

[38:6]  ²⁹ sn The seven-nation coalition represents the north (Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, Beth-Togarmah), the south/west (Ethiopia, Put) and the east (Persia). The use of the sevenfold list suggests completeness. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:441.
